The Real Problem
Most Florida Restaurants Are Losing $800 to $1,200 a Month on Oil and Don’t Even Know It
So here’s what I see maybe three or four times a week when I visit a new restaurant; there’s a guy out back wrestling a 50 pound drum of used cooking oil toward a dumpster area and the grease company was supposed to come Tuesday but it’s Thursday and nobody’s called and there’s oil everywhere and the kitchen manager is frustrated and the owner is paying for all of this without really knowing how much it actually costs because nobody tracks it, which is kind of insane when you think about it.
Quick math: The average Florida restaurant with 3 to 5 deep fryer units spends $2,400 a month or more on cooking oil when you add up fresh oil purchases, disposal fees, equipment maintenance, and the labor hours your staff wastes hauling drums around. And that doesn’t even count the slip and fall risk or the grease trap issues.
And the thing that connects to this is that most cooking oil waste management in Florida is still done the old way; you buy oil from one company, you call a different grease company to come pick up the used stuff when they feel like it, you own or rent your own deep fryer filter machine that nobody maintains, and you’re basically running three separate vendor relationships for something that should be one phone call and one system, or at least that’s been our experience after doing this since 1967.

Most restaurants don’t believe us when we say we install everything for free and the whole cooking oil management system runs in the background, so we started filming it because honestly it’s easier to just show you than try to explain it.

What Restaurant Owners Say
They Show Up When They Say They Will, Which Apparently Is a Lot to Ask

“
We were spending almost $3,000 a month between oil purchases and our old grease company. Stirling put in the bulk tank and filtration system and our oil costs dropped to about $1,600. And they actually show up on the day they say they will, which our last used cooking oil disposal company never did.

The deep fryer filter machine they installed made our oil last twice as long. I didn’t believe it when they told me but the numbers are right there. And the whole cooking oil management system just runs in the background; I don’t think about oil anymore which is the whole point.

57 years in business tells you something. We switched from a national grease company and the difference was immediate; better equipment, reliable schedule, and they actually pay us for the used oil instead of charging us to haul it away. Should have switched sooner.

Common Questions
The Stuff People Usually Ask Before They Switch
How much does cooking oil waste management actually cost?
Most restaurants actually save money, and I know that sounds like a sales pitch but the math is pretty simple. We install all equipment at no cost, we deliver fresh oil at competitive rates, and we pay you for your used cooking oil instead of charging you to haul it away. The average restaurant with 3 to 5 commercial deep fryer units saves $800 to $1,200 a month compared to managing oil on their own, and that’s before you factor in the labor savings from not having your kitchen staff drag drums around.
How does the used cooking oil disposal process actually work?
We install a sealed outdoor collection tank connected to your kitchen through a closed loop pump system. When your fryer oil needs changing, it pumps from the fryer directly to the tank; no drums, no carrying, no spills. We schedule regular pickups and recycle 100% of the collected oil into biodiesel and other products. The whole system is EPA compliant and handles all the Florida regulation requirements for cooking oil waste management automatically.
What kind of filtration equipment do you provide?
It depends on your kitchen setup and honestly that’s why we do the assessment first. We provide cooking oil filter machines for standard fryers, deep fryer filter machines for high volume operations, conveyor fryer filter machines for continuous frying lines, and complete commercial deep fryer with oil filtration system setups for new builds. All of it installed and maintained at zero cost to you, which I realize sounds too good to be true but the economics work because longer oil life means you buy more fresh oil from us over time.
What if I already have a grease company under contract?
Most restaurant contracts with grease companies are month to month or have a 30 day out clause, and honestly even the ones that claim to be long term usually don’t enforce it because they know they’ll lose. We’ll review your current setup during the free assessment and tell you exactly what switching looks like; timeline, savings, and whether it even makes sense. And if it doesn’t make sense I’ll tell you that too, which I know is a weird thing for a sales page to say but I’d rather be straight with you.
How long does setup take and will it disrupt my kitchen?
One visit for the assessment, one visit for installation, and your kitchen stays open the entire time. The bulk tank goes outside and the interior connections are minimal. Most restaurants are fully running on the new cooking oil management system within a single business day, and the fryer oil filtration service starts immediately after installation.
Why Stirling instead of a national cooking oil company?
National grease companies handle cooking oil as one of fifty services across forty states and the way they deal with things like fryer oil filtration service in Florida is the same way they deal with it in Minnesota, which doesn’t account for humidity, hurricane season, tourism volume swings, or the fact that a Tampa restaurant uses oil differently than one in Chicago. We’ve operated only in Florida since 1967 and that’s all we do; cooking oil management systems for Florida restaurants. You call us and you get someone who knows your market, or at least that’s the difference I notice when restaurants switch to us from the nationals.
